Brady's Bend, Pennsylvania

Brady's Bend, also known as Bradys Bend, is named for Captain Samuel Brady (1756–1795), famed frontier scout and the subject of many legends. The photo is a composite of three shots taken about 1,400 ft. above sea level. Near this location on the Allegheny River in Western Pennsylvania June 1779—in what was then Seneca territory – Brady led a force seeking to redress the killing of a settler and her four children, and the taking of two children as prisoners. The force surrounded a party of seven Indians—apparently both Seneca and Munsee – killing their leader (a Munsee warrior) and freeing the two children.
